It is rec'd to NOT start GLP-1's in pts on Resmetirom. I think ALMOST EVERY pt w/ F2-3 MASH will have a stronger indication for GLP-1 than Resmetirom. What would you start 1st?

Consult today: lactobacillus in the ascitic fluid of a cirrhotic patient with SBP. Takes probiotics at home.
I’ve only seen this one other time during residency. Probiotics in cirrhosis - thoughts? #LiverTwitter
For #HCC surveillance post liver #transplant, are there any scoring systems that your center uses to help frame risk of recurrence + determine surveillance frequency and duration?

A question recently came up about serum AFP testing pre- & post-liver transplant (LT) -
If serum AFP is < 10 ng/mL pre-LT (and the patient never had an elevated AFP), would you check their AFP post-LT when evaluating for post-LT recurrence?
Any data you use to support this?
